thepeople@ogero.gov.lb to request a speed test for my DSL line and I got positively surprised by two things:
- First, they replied very fast within 24 hours!
- Second, they told me that I am 800 metres far from the central (knowing that i live at least 4km away from it) and that therefore my line can handle a speed up to 23 mbps!
Does this actually mean that an active cabinet was installed in my neighborhood? In this case, shouldn't the speed reach at least 50mbps as Ogero chairman said before?
Cool and congrats---I am going to email them at the end of the month when the cabinet is supposed to finish installing. A quick question though--did you ask them in Arabic or English or do you think it matters? If it is in Arabic, I am going to have to get another family member to do it.
no in english. and they replied in english.
I just explained to them the changes that occured to the stats of my DSL line in the past months and asked for a new speed test.
the 50 mb/s speed is a theoretical number that the network can handle.
right now we are limited by the technology ADSL2+ and my friend this is way out dated max speed attainable is 24 mb/s so if you can handle 23 consider yourself to be one of the luckiest.
think of it that way you have 8 mb/s connection now but your wireless technology is limited to a 2mb/s because it is an old router. basically the same analogy .
so until we move on ,to what i assume is the next step is , to VDSL we are limited by the 24mb/s speed.
that's why adsl2+ world wide has no speed limit its is already one of the slowest internet they have it wont sell if they limit it more.
